Habits have been described as repeated actions that arise from some kind of internal or external trigger (Robbins & Costa, 2017). Often, these habits exist in particular contexts. For example, Billy might have a habit of smoking a cigarette when he drinks alcohol. Sharon might have a habit of brushing her teeth before bed. And Mark might have a habit of biting his nails when he’s nervous. Habits—both good and bad—are closely related to our goals. Since habits are just things we do regularly, they can contribute to —or deter us from—achieving the things we want to achieve. That’s why building good habits—and perhaps getting rid of some bad ones—is so important for building the lives we want to lead. So what are some good…

You know the drill. Work, family and other obligations have you running ragged, and there’s always the feeling that there aren’t enough hours in the day. You’re stressed and exhausted, but sleep isn’t replenishing you. You struggle with productivity, your patience is thin, and the work you once loved just isn’t providing the same satisfaction anymore. That’s burnout. We would rather call it something else, an energy crisis. Burnout sounds like something you can’t come back from, but an energy crisis? Personal energy is renewable, you just have to know where to look for it. That’s what personal energy management is all about, finding the sources of energy you need to get off the hamster wheel and back in the game in a way that…
